5 Comments on Doctor Who: ‘The Waters of Mars’

Seems very reminiscent of the X files episode ‘AGUA MALA’. I’ve enjoyed a lot of Who over the last few years but there seem to be hardly any episodes which aren’t very similar to something that has gone before. Perhaps “blink” is it.

I always try to say intelligent things when I see bits of Doctor Who, but all that ever comes out is “DOCTORWHODOCTORWHODOCTORWHO!!!!” and, occasionally, in the dead of night, “Squeee!”

I’m ashamed of my illness.

But not TOO ashamed. 🙂

Even when it IS reminiscent, I almost always find myself preferring the Doctor Who versions. I’ll have that X-Files comparison in my head…but on the basis of what I’ve seen previously of Doctor Who, and having watched an awful lot of X-Files with my wife, I have to say that I think Doctor Who has more heart.
